Recently, advantages of conformal deformations of the contours of integration in pricing formulas for European options have been demonstrated in the context of wide classes of L'evy models, the Heston model and other affine models. Similar deformations were used in one-factor L'evy models to...

For wide classes of payoff functions and Lévy processes, we solve perpetual restricted optimal stopping problems, when one exercise region is exogenously given (barrier like feature), and the other is chosen to optimize the option value, and straddle-like perpetual options, when the optimal...

The pricing problem for American options in Markov-modulated Lévy models is solved. The early exercise boundaries and prices are calculated using a generalization of Carr's randomization procedure for regime-switching models. The pricing procedure is efficient even if the number of states is...

A general numerical method for pricing American options in regime switching jump diffusion models of stock dynamics with stochastic interest rates and/or volatility is developed. Time derivative and infinitesimal generator of the process for factors that determine the dynamics of the interest...

We clarify the relations among different Fourier-based approaches to option pricing, and improve the B-spline probability density projection method using the sinh-acceleration technique. This allows us to efficiently separate the control of different sources of errors better than the FFT-based...
